IMPROVEMENTIN BALE-TIES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 176,6!3, dated April 25, 1876; application filed April 10, 1876,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GUsTUs S. FRANCE, ot' (Jobleskill, in the county of Schoharie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bale-Ties; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in whichrepresented as is necessary to illustrate my present improvements; and the parts marked A and B represent sections of the-bale-wire,

the ends a and b ot' which are bent to form the loops G, and then the ends of the wire are partially twisted about the main wire, as

shown at c, and then one of the strands-by preference, the main strand-is bent to form a hook, D, after which both strands are twisted together to form a close union and connection and stiff part, E, upon each end of the'balearound the bale maybe made from one or' more sections ofwjre or hoop-iron, as maybe preferred, although I prefer to make the entire bale-tie. from a single piece of wire.

' Having described my said improvement in baleties for baling purposes, what I claim therein as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination, with the ends of a baletie, of the hooks D D and loops 0 O, substantially as and for the purposesset forth.

2. As an improved article of. manufacture, a bale-tie, each end of which is provided with a loop, D, and hook O,'with a partial twist between the respective loops aud hooks, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
